Google reveals 2026 hardware lineup: Pixel 11, Pixel Watch 5, and Pixel Tag
谷歌发布 2026 年硬件阵容：Pixel 11、Pixel Watch 5 和 Pixel Tag
Google has revealed its Pixel phone hardware for 2026, and you won’t be surprised. The Pixel 11 series looks a lot like last year’s lineup, featuring an evolution of the design Google adopted with the Pixel 9. There are some minor tweaks, a few new hardware goodies, and yes, even more Gemini-powered AI. The new phones are joined by an updated Pixel Watch 5 with much the same story, as well as Google’s first in-house tracker device, the Pixel Tag. And you can place orders for all of Google’s new hardware today.
谷歌已经公布了其 2026 年的 Pixel 手机硬件阵容，这并不会让你感到意外。Pixel 11 系列看起来与去年的产品线非常相似，延续了谷歌自 Pixel 9 开始采用的设计语言。新机型进行了一些细微调整，增加了一些新的硬件功能，当然，还有更多由 Gemini 驱动的 AI 能力。与新手机一同亮相的还有升级版的 Pixel Watch 5，以及谷歌首款自研追踪设备 Pixel Tag。目前，所有这些谷歌新硬件均已开放预订。
The Pixel 11 series is clearly the star of the show. You might even call it the highlight—or HiLight. Just as the leaks predicted, Google’s most notable hardware innovation for the 2026 Pixel phones is the return of the notification LED (sort of). The new HiLight feature is available on the Pro phones, so the base model Pixel will remain unilluminated. HiLight consists of a ring of RGB LEDs inside the flash assembly on the back of the phone. It lights up when you’re talking to Gemini, so you don’t have to look at the screen of your phone to know you’ve been heard or that the AI is working. Thus, it makes the most sense when the phone is lying face down.
Pixel 11 系列显然是本次发布会的主角。你甚至可以称之为“亮点”（Highlight）——或者叫它“HiLight”。正如之前的爆料所预测的那样，谷歌 2026 款 Pixel 手机最引人注目的硬件创新是通知 LED 灯的回归（某种程度上）。新的 HiLight 功能仅在 Pro 机型上提供，因此基础款 Pixel 手机将不会配备此功能。HiLight 由手机背面闪光灯组件内的一圈 RGB LED 灯组成。当你与 Gemini 对话时，它会亮起，这样你无需查看手机屏幕就能知道指令已被接收或 AI 正在运行。因此，当手机正面朝下放置时，该功能最为实用。
The multicolored LEDs can also alert you to an incoming call from specific contacts. This works for both standard phone calls and voice calls in WhatsApp. But it’s only those apps. It sounds like you can’t use HiLight for any other kind of notification for other apps—not even for a text in Google Messages. Notification LEDs can be useful, but the ones we had years back were infinitely more configurable. HiLight is locked down in modern Google fashion, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more HiLight features drip-fed in future Pixel Drops.
这些多色 LED 灯还可以提醒你来自特定联系人的来电。该功能适用于标准电话和 WhatsApp 语音通话，但仅限于这些应用。听起来你无法将 HiLight 用于其他应用的通知——甚至连 Google Messages 的短信提醒都不行。通知 LED 灯固然有用，但我们多年前使用的那些灯光具有极高的可定制性。HiLight 延续了谷歌现代产品一贯的封闭风格，如果未来在 Pixel Drops 更新中看到更多 HiLight 功能逐步开放，我也不会感到惊讶。

You may also notice the camera bars are a bit different this year. Google is keeping this distinctive design element, but the bar has shrunk considerably on the base model. The Pixel 11’s bar now rises just a couple of millimeters above the back of the phone, making it a bit less awkward to drop in your pocket. All the bars now have edge-to-edge glass, losing the metal inlay that previously housed the flash and thermometer. The latter, unsurprisingly, is gone this year.
你可能还会注意到，今年的摄像头模组（Camera Bar）有所不同。谷歌保留了这一标志性设计元素，但基础款上的模组尺寸大幅缩小。Pixel 11 的摄像头模组现在仅比手机背面高出几毫米，放进兜里时不再那么突兀。所有的摄像头模组现在都采用了全覆盖玻璃设计，去掉了之前容纳闪光灯和温度计的金属镶嵌件。不出所料，温度计功能今年已被取消。
The displays on this year’s Pixel phones are brighter. While the base model remains at 3,000 nits, the Pro phones have all risen to 3,600 nits. Google also says the phones use new glass that is twice as resistant to scratching. It’s not all upgrades, though. For the past few years, Google’s battery capacity has been inching upward, but the Pixel 11 series bizarrely reverses that trend. The three flat phones all have slightly lower capacity. It’s not a huge difference—under 100 mAh for each—but that’s still moving in the wrong direction when one of the primary complaints about Pixel phones is the middling battery life.
今年 Pixel 手机的屏幕亮度更高了。基础款保持在 3000 尼特，而所有 Pro 机型均提升至 3600 尼特。谷歌还表示，这些手机采用了抗刮擦能力提升两倍的新型玻璃。不过，并非所有方面都是升级。过去几年，谷歌手机的电池容量一直在缓慢增加，但 Pixel 11 系列却反其道而行之。三款直板手机的电池容量均略有下降。虽然差距不大（每款减少不到 100 mAh），但在用户对 Pixel 手机电池续航表现不满的情况下，这显然是朝着错误的方向发展。
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is even stranger, dropping a full 200 mAh of capacity to land at 4,806 mAh. However, it is a little lighter and thinner. For what it’s worth, Google is claiming the same “24+ hours” of total battery life on the new phones. There is at least a new “Extreme Charging Mode” that keeps charging wattage higher for longer. This generates more heat, but the chipset will slow down to compensate so you don’t overheat. Google probably figured it could get away with smaller batteries because the new Tensor G6 uses less juice. The company claims a 20 percent boost in power efficiency, along with 25 percent faster browsing and 15 percent faster…
Pixel 11 Pro Fold 的情况更奇怪，电池容量直接减少了 200 mAh，降至 4806 mAh。不过，它变得更轻、更薄了一些。无论如何，谷歌声称新手机仍能提供“24 小时以上”的总续航时间。至少，新机配备了“极限充电模式”，可以更长时间地保持高功率充电。这会产生更多热量，但芯片组会通过降频来补偿，以防止过热。谷歌可能认为，由于新的 Tensor G6 芯片功耗更低，因此减小电池容量是可以接受的。该公司声称，新芯片的能效提升了 20%，浏览速度提升了 25%，处理速度提升了 15%……
